24 Best Mexican Restaurants near Plainsboro

“This is one of my favorite places to visit when in South Jersey. I usually visit the Hightstown location where their manager Maddy does an amazing job at running the place. I was pleasantly surprised that this location was also very clean and efficient. My food was prepared quickly which was a surprise since it's made fresh. The food itself is very delicious and filled with so much flavor. I love that they offer plenty of desserts and jarritos. Cant wait for this restaurant to make its way to North Jersey.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience eating at the Mexican Mariachi Grill located in Hamilton Township. We enjoyed having the best Mexican food in the area under a pleasant atmosphere, affordable prices and excellent service. By the way, we also tried the one located at TCNJ Campus in Ewing, and the results were gratifying.“

“Authentic items on the menu with a delicious flavor. The location is conveniently located on George Due Rd in Hamilton. When I have placed orders on the phone the employee has been helpful and pleasant. I have not sat down to dine in the restaurant yet. While picking up my order there was music playing at the establishment and I was greeted right away. Try Que Rico it's delicious!“

“My go to place! Elijah at the Princeton Market fair location by the AMC Movie Theater is fantastic! He knows and remembers me, my usual order and makes it right. Hope your give him a raise!Vegetarian options: Am vegan, not vegetarian but you can order vegan and vegetarian easy!“

“A warm weather day calls for an outdoor dinner at Maria's! Got my usual go to which is Maria's Burrito. A regular burrito but drenched in their mole sauce. Then I add their la diabla sauce on top to make it spicy. Chefs Kiss. The shrimp la diabla is also a good go to and that thing packs heat! The residential cat was out and about. I'm pretty sure I saw it last time I dined outside too. The cat is real chill. It just roams. A side note: they updated the look of their menu. Reorganized the flow of items, text size, and prices.“

“Twice I’ve ordered food from here for takeout and didn’t get any utensils or napkins. Their food is MESSY so you can’t eat this without some backup. I wasn’t born in the dark ages. Why would I get rice and beans with no way of eating it or cleaning up after myself? The food itself is fine but stock up before you go. Make your 2024 better: TacoRita is out, Taco Bell is in.“

“I've ordered from here over 20 times I would say that the without food had decreased since the first time I had ordered from here I tend to order the birya quesadilla and tacos and while the quality of the birya has not changed I can confidently say that the crispiness of the quesadilla has and it seems that the quantity of beer in it as well is less and the tacos from the first time I ordered them till the second to last time they always use two tortillas which always made it so the second one never got soggy and it was the perfect balance of juicy and not breaking apart and now they only use one so it's a lot more soggy than it used to be I would still recommend it heavily but it's not as good and the quesadilla seems to have less barrier and is less crispy also they seem to use less consomme on the tortilla which makes it a little less flavorful as well I would still heavily recommend this place but it's an overall I'd say the quality has declined a little bit and it worries me if it will decline again but until that day I'll keep coming here“

“Tasty, a tad pricey for what you get, a little loud to dine in (like... kind of strange lol), all fresh, tinkering on the edge of authentic. Anything you get is going to be good. Everyone in my orbit LOOOOOVES the brussels sprouts tacos/burritos. IMHO, you can't go wrong w a burrito. That fat little sucker rivals the weight of a newborn baby. lol“

“Food was delicious and authentic. I ordered tacos al pastor, tacos de carne asada and my children enjoyed tostadas with beans, cheese and rice. Server was friendly and attentive. Will return for more delicious food.Kid-friendliness: Booths, high chairs, kid friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp available“

“First time coming to this place. I did not expect it to be a "house", but it was a pleasant surprise. The girl that took our order was really nice and attentive throught our meal. We ordered a tamal verde and tamal de mole to start with. I had enchiladas verdes with chicken for dinner. The portion of the food was perfect. My husband ordered the steak with rice and beans that came with what looked like hand made tortillas. I also ordered their piña colada which tasted natural to me. It was refreshing. The total for two dinners was also a plus. Will definitely go backParking: only 5 spots for the restaurant, but the restaurant is small with atleast 5 tables inside“

“Stopped by for lunch and ordered the shrimp tacos that were on special to find out this place serves authentic and excellent food. The pico de gallo was freshly made and the guac was equally good. I recommend giving them a try when you’re near or in town.“

“(Translated by Google) The place is new and I dared to visit it for the moment the service was great what I hope to receive in the service is first a smile and I received it very super well from the waitress, also the food tastes good, the tortilla chips were missing at the entrance with its sauce but everything was fine, the cook's service was very good, he even offered me a taste of the food they cook there, which I didn't receive because I was on the way out and I was in a hurry, but the truth is I plan to go back again to try some other dish and give the next review.(Original)El lugar es nuevo y me atreví a visitarlo por el momento el servicio estuvo genial lo que espero recibir en el servicio es primero una sonrisa y la recibí muy súper bien de la mesera, además la comida esta buena buen sabor, faltaron los totopos de entrada con su salsa pero todo bien el servicio del cocinero muy bueno hasta me ofreció darme una prueba de los alimentos que cocinan ahí lo cual no recibí por que iba de salida y tenia prisa pero la verdad pienso volver de nuevo a probar algún otro platillo y dar el siguiente review.“

“I really enjoyed this restaurant. The staff was friendly and helped find us vegetarian dishes. Food came out quick and was really good. Portion sizes were great for the price. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and service at a reasonable price.Vegetarian options: If you are vegetarian, there are definitely options to choose from. The staff is also very accommodating and can replace meat with veggies for any dish.“

“I had to pick up a package at the UPS Customer Service center across the street (which this UPS's posted hours are different than on the UPS website and they didn't open for another hour) so I grabbed lunch here while waiting. The restaurant looks new and VERY clean with a spacious seating area. An employee took the time to explain to me what they serve and I ordered a Burrito Bowl ($12). The portion was HUGE and I was happy that I could custom order it as I like (mixing in both types of rice, mixed beans and mixed protein and lots of toppings to choose from). All the ingredients were fresh (including the lettuce and guac), tasty and nicely seasoned. The chicken was tender chunks and not grisly or chewy. I really enjoyed the bowl; it tasted like it was homemade and I had enough leftover to save for later. I'm not a fan of Chip-NO-tle and wasn't sure how this would be, but I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back when I'm in the area again.“

“Very cozy and comfortable atmosphere. It was unanimous by all 4 in my party that the guacamole tasted like egg salad! However, the waitress stated there wasn't egg in it. Otherwise, the California burritos, enchiladas and tacos were all good portion, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was very accommodating and friendly. I would return when in the area again!“

“I have ordered a chicken cutlet sub from Sam’s three times in the last two weeks! Their food is SO FRESH and delicious. I’ve also had their chicken empanadas and pulled pork. Everything is really flavorful and the customer service is on point!“

“I was in the area on business and just googled restaurants near me. This place popped up quite small but the food was very very good and very reasonable. My whole meal was only $15 that was chips and salsa steak fajitas and a Coke. Definitely well worth the visit if you’re in the area.“

“The tacos are delicious, particularly the authentic Mexican Birria tacos. A bit spicy but not too much. Service was great. Very kind and friendly young lady at counter and food was ready fairly quickly. I took my order to go but the decor is very nice if dining in though it is a small place with only a few tables.“

“Muy buena la comida y todo pero pésimo servicio al cliente. Al tomarte tu orden por teléfono no tienen paciencia ni atención al cliente. Me llamaron dos veces para confirmar mi orden para que a última hora me la cancelaran. Muy mala experiencia.“

“Come here for lunch while working nearby. Best burritos in the area. Beats out Chipotle by the same leap US took on the moon. Baby sized burritos filled to the brim. As weezy said in 6 foot 7 foot "Burritos, so big I'm starting to feel contractions"“

“I placed an order on Door Dash for the beef burrito and chicken enchilada combo. I wanted the queso sauce that was supposed to come on the beef burritos. They forgot to add it.Otherwise, the food had great flavor. The Tres Leches was very good. The beef burritos had a little cheddar cheese on top, and sauce that tastes good. The chicken enchiladas were well flavored.The meal was cold though, I had to stick it in the microwave for a few minutes.“

“Grabbed lunch from here today and enjoyed my food. First, the restaurant is cash only but there's a nearby ATM if you need to use it. I ordered one of the specials that used skirt steak (sorry, my Spanish is pretty much nonexistent so I forget the exact name) and it was prepared in ~10 minutes or so. I could tell it was fresh, so no complaints there! I took my food to go, and I have to admit that it was pretty challenging to cut up my steak with the provided plastic knife and fork. Granted, I'm not really sure what the solution is - it's not like they're going to give out a quality knife and fork for a take-out order. The steak was definitely tasty and tender for skirt steak, and the sides (rice, black beans, and pasta salad with a jalapeño on top) were all high quality as well. Finally, they offered some side tortillas which were decent but didn't blow me away. The whole meal was only $10, which is extremely reasonable for Princeton. Overall, I was really happy with my experience at Chapin. All of the food was good (with the exception of the side tortillas, which were only decent). I do think that the restaurant could offer a little more information on the ingredients of the specials (I had to use Google!), but I guess I could have just asked the reasonably friendly staff and he would have answered my questions :) But it's nice to just be able to read it off a menu. Anyway, I can definitely see myself coming back!“

“My review is based on our first time at this restaurant. As a party of 8, we all experienced great fun, service, attention and of course, delicious food. My wife said it was beyond her expectations, and being from Guadalajara herself she is very critical about how the food tastes, is prepared and presented. Thank you for your effort to provide a clean place and quality food to your clients. Be certain that, at least from all of us, is not being ignored.My review is based on the first time we were at this restaurant.

“El Jalapeno in Hamilton is your go-to spot for fantastic Latin American cuisine! They generously offer complimentary chips and salsa as an appetizer, which is a delightful bonus not commonly found elsewhere. Their beef empanadas boast freshness and flavor, while the maduros offer a delightful contrast of crunchiness on the outside and softness on the inside. The chicken fajitas and chicken with rice and beans are bursting with flavor. Adding to the dining experience, their uniquely crafted dining chairs, adorned with handmade carvings, transport you to a tropical paradise. The staff are incredibly friendly, nice, and welcoming, enhancing the overall ambiance. What's more, they provide ample portions, giving you more food for your money. With their extremely reasonable prices, dining here truly feels like a five-star experience.“
